Peptic ulcers are lesions in the lining of your stomach and duodenum, or the upper part of your small intestine, according to Dr. James Balch and Mark Stengler, authors of "Prescription for Natural Cures." These lesions occur when the lining of your stomach and duodenum is weakened by gastric acids, which are produced by your stomach to digest foods. Peptic ulcers cause symptoms such as nausea, abdominal pain, appetite changes, vomiting and a burning sensation in your stomach. Certain foods may trigger symptoms of peptic ulcers. Black Pepper, Mustard Seed, Jalapenos Spicy foods may irritate the lining of your stomach and may cause inflammation of peptic ulcers. Spices such as nutmeg, cayenne, black pepper, mustard seed and chili powder can trigger abdominal pain, burning sensations and other symptoms of peptic ulcers, according to the Family Doctor website. These symptoms may also worsen if you eat hot peppers, such as red chilis, jalapenos, poblanos or habaneros. Milk D

Monarch speaks out •How we can all live peacefully in Warri •Things I can no longer do as Warri monarch •Turning point in my life •Strangest thing that has occurred to me •Speaks on Delta Sea ports, Fulani Herdsmen and Buhari’s govt By Emma Amaize, Regional Editor, South-South, Egufe Yafugborhi (Warri) & Brisibe Perez (Ughelli) You reportedly waited 28years to ascend this throne, how was the wait? I do not know why the press would want to use that word, I keep telling people that you cannot aspire to be Olu of Warri because there are processes and procedures before you dream of becoming Olu of Warri. You would observe that the Olu does not die. The day the calabash is broken is same day a new Olu emerges or announced. That tells you it is a continuous process. Unlike Benin where you have the Heir Apparent known from birth, in Itsekiri you cannot determine who would be the next Olu until the translation of an Olu. As soon as the Olu go to meet with the ancestors, that is wh

8 Surprising Reasons Women Cheat Women cheat because of a lack of physical intimacy in marriage, a need to seek revenge for being done wrong or a desire for a few giggles and grins. Are those reasons or, are they excuses? Excuses that should never be accepted!   Most women have been taught since childhood to be "good little girls", "behave like a lady", and "grin and bear it”. Remember hearing the saying "little girls are made of sugar and spice, and all things nice"? Fast forward to the 21st century, where women are now allowed to be tough, to say NO, to speak their mind, to become CEO's and to enjoy sex. Women have become more assertive and in tune to their needs, wants and desires. Some men like the fact that women are able to "talk the talk" and "walk the walk" while others feel intimidated by it. Without a doubt, this change has had a great impact on relationships between men and women, specifically the actions and be

AS the world was awaiting the coronation of a new Oba of Benin, in Benin City, there has been a barrage of goodwill messages from distant and near lands. Two of such empathic correspondence unveil the kind of royal diplomacy now being ushered in as a new dawn approaches in the nucleus of the former seat of a great West African empire (Kingdom), the former capital of Midwest region and capital of Bendel now Edo State in modern Nigeria. From the records of the Benin Traditional Council (BTC), the queen of Great Britain, Her Majesty Elizabeth 11 sent her condolence message to the Crown Prince and Heir Apparent to the Benin throne, Ambassador Eheneden Erediauwa, over the transition of Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo Erediauwa, CFR. Oba of Benin. Similarly, the Duke of Kent, His Royal Highness, Prince Edward, KG, GCMG, GCVO, ADC (P), a cousin of  Her Majesty, the Queen, has since expressed his best wishes for the Benin kingdom in a most brotherly fashion imbued with the grandest of aristo

younger looking skin. Who wouldn’t? But growing older is a fact of life, and sooner or later, our skin will start to show the signs of our age. Judging by the estimated $115 billion spent on anti-aging products worldwide, many of us would like to defy our age for as long as possible. But in addition to using your favorite age-defying products, if you want younger looking skin, there are things you should avoid in your daily life that can age your appearance prematurely. For younger looking skin, avoid these 25 things: Chlorine. After taking a dip in the pool, it’s important to scrub off chlorine by showering with a good soap or bath gel. If left on your skin, chlorine can react with topical medications, cleansers and lotions, which could lead to skin irritation. Going to Bed with Your Make-up on. Going to bed with your make-up on can cause bacterial infections, clogged pores and acne, and bacteria and toxic residues to build-up on your pillow. So always remove your make-up before be

The discovery could help babies with genetic diseases, elderly people and even astronauts, they say. The findings in mice, published in Scientific Reports, showed cells in the fluid strengthened bone and cut fractures by 80%. Human clinical trials are planned within the next two years. Brittle bones The amniotic fluid protects the baby and helps it develop inside the mother's womb. ADVERTISEMENT It also contains stem cells that are the building blocks of other tissues. Image SPL Image Artwork showing a needle entering the amniotic sac The researchers collected the amniotic stem cells from material left over from screening tests during pregnancy or collected immediately before birth. The team at the Institute of Child Health - a collaboration of Great Ormond Street Hospital and University College London - injected the cells into diseased mice. The animals had brittle bone disease or osteogenesis imperfecta. In people, the condition affects around one in every 25,000 bi

Eating processed meat might make asthma symptoms worse, say researchers. Consuming more than four portions a week is a risk, suggests the study of nearly 1,000 French people, published in the journal Thorax. The researchers believe it could be a preservative called nitrite used in meats such as sausages, salami and ham that aggravates the airways. But experts say the link has not been proved and more investigations are needed. Rather than worry about one type of food, people should be eating a healthy and varied diet, they advise. Processed meat has already been linked with cancer. Image THINKSTOCK Image The study looked at ham, sausages and salami What is processed meat? How much of a cancer risk is processed meat? Experts say people should eat no more than 70g a day of red and processed meat for good health. That's about one sausage plus a rasher of bacon a day. Meat wheeze The people in the study had been taking part in a French survey about food and health, spanni

Pregnancy reduces grey matter in specific parts of a woman's brain, helping her bond with her baby and prepare for the demands of motherhood. Scans of 25 first-time mums showed these structural brain changes lasted for at least two years after giving birth. European researchers said the scale of brain changes during pregnancy were akin to those seen during adolescence. But they found no evidence of women's memory deteriorating. Many women have said they feel forgetful and emotional during pregnancy and put it down to "pregnancy" or "baby" brain - and, it seems, with good reason. ADVERTISEMENT Hormone surge Pregnancy is characterised by extreme surges of sex hormones and involves drastic physiological and physical changes in the body, the researchers say. During those nine months, women experience a flood of oestrogen which is greater than for the whole of the rest of their lives. Yet research on the effects of pregnancy on the human brain is scarce.

Women today are choosing to have children later in life than ever before. Egg freezing, technically known as oocyte cryopreservation, can enable a woman to delay pregnancy until a later stage. In 1980, the average American woman had her first baby at the age of 22. By 2000, that age had risen to almost 25, and in 2014, the average woman waited until the age of 26 to have her first child. In the United Kingdom, the number of women having children over the age of 40 years has tripled since 1980. In 2016, more British women over 40 years old gave birth than those younger than 20 years old. In the United States, 2.3 percent of all births are to women aged 40 to 44 years. Society may be changing, but the biological realities of fertility remain the same. Most women enter menopause in their late 40s or early 50s. In the years before menopause, a woman's fertility declines. Although the life experience of an older woman may mean she is well equipped to be a mother, conceiving is not as

Reports out of London on Wednesday indicate that convicted former governor of Delta State, James Ibori, has been released from custody after completing a 13-year jail term. Private radio, Ray Power FM, said in a news update on Wednesday afternoon that Mr. Ibori, a former governor of Delta State, was released following a court order that declined a British government’s request for an extension of his prison remand. Although his spokesman, Tony Eluemunor, declined to confirm the development to PREMIUM TIMES Wednesdayafternoon, an online newspaper, The Will, reported that Mr. Ibori had been released but will not be allowed to travel outside the United Kingdom for the time being. “THEWILL can, however, report that Ibori, who was in court for the suit will have to reside at his St. John’s Wood residence ONLY and will report to the police once weekly,” the paper said. The UK Home Office had opposed Mr. Ibori’s release, citing inconclusive business in the asset forfeiture proceedings agai

Tapeworm are flat, segmented worms that live in the intestines of some animals. Animals can become infected with these parasites when grazing in pastures or drinking contaminated water. Eating undercooked meat from infected animals is the main cause of tapeworm infection in people. Although tapeworms in humans usually cause few symptoms and are easily treated, they can sometimes cause serious, life-threatening problems. That's why it's important to recognize the symptoms and know how to protect yourself and your family. Six types of tapeworms are known to infect people. They are usually identified by the animals they come from -- for example, Taenia saginata from beef, Taenia solium from pork, and Diphyllobothrium latum from fish. Tapeworms have a three-stage lifecycle: egg, an immature stage called a larva, and an adult stage at which the worm can produce more eggs. Because larvae can get into the muscles of their hosts, infection can occur when you eat raw or undercooked m
